TLDR
Airway remodeling is often considered the result of longstanding airway inflammation, but it may be present to an equivalent degree in the airways of children with asthma, raising the necessity for early and specific therapeutic interventions.

Der p 2 promotes motility of airway epithelial cell attributing to AKT/GSK3β-associated epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition

TL;DR: DP2 not only altered expression of E-cadherin, vimentin, and α-SMA, but also enhanced migration and invasiveness of epithelial cell, attributing to modulation of AKT/GSK3β signaling and Snail/Slug translocation.

Microbiota-Mediated Immunomodulation and Asthma: Current and Future Perspectives

TL;DR: Future work aiming to apply the understanding of the role of the microbiota in health and disease to the prevention of atopic asthma will likely need to take a population-specific approach and has the potential to dramatically change the face of current asthma treatment practices.

Promotor Hypomethylation Mediated Upregulation of miR-23b-3p Targets PTEN to Promote Bronchial Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Chronic Asthma

TL;DR: The results indicated that promotor hypomethylation mediated upregulation of miR-23b-3p targets PTEN to promote EMT in chronic asthma and might be potential therapeutic targets for irreversible airway remodeling.

Lipoxin A4 inhibits ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation and airway remodeling in a mouse model of asthma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) on airway remodeling was investigated in mice with OVA-induced inflammatory cell infiltration and T helper type 2 (Th2) cytokines secretion in the mouse model of asthma.

Mepolizumab and Exacerbations of Refractory Eosinophilic Asthma

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that eosinophils have a role as important effector cells in the pathogenesis of severe exacerbations of asthma in this patient population.

Asthma exacerbations and sputum eosinophil counts: a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: A treatment strategy directed at normalisation of the induced sputum eosinophil count reduces asthma exacerbations and admissions without the need for additional anti-inflammatory treatment.

Evidence That Severe Asthma Can Be Divided Pathologically into Two Inflammatory Subtypes with Distinct Physiologic and Clinical Characteristics

TL;DR: The results suggest that two distinct pathologic, physiologic, and clinical subtypes of severe asthma exist, with implications for further research and treatment.

The relations between structural changes in small airways and pulmonary-function tests.

TL;DR: Pulmonary-function tests showed abnormalities at a time when the pathologic changes were still potentially reversible and when other tests were not appreciably changed, and increase in disease in small airways correlated with deterioration in lung function.
